PACKAGE FEATURES
o The AnnotationHub package allows the easy creation of an
AnnotationHub object that cab be used to get access to a wealth of
Annotation objects.
o At creation, all the supported objects can be accessed by
tab-completion to their various resource paths. When you get to
the resource, you can just hit enter to trigger a download of the
data to your R session.
o Because AnnotationHub already allows direct access to thousands
of objects, and because this number is expected to swell in the
coming years, filters can be applied to limit the number of things
you have to choose from. Metadata is stored for each object to
allow filtering.
o AnnotationHub supports caching as a performance enhancement, so
if you have previously downloaded a resource from the server, it
will be store and retrieved from a local cache to save time.
o AnnotationHub also supports versioning, so that versions can be
captured and then referred to later so as to enable reproducible
research.
o Please see the manual pages and associated vignette for more
detailed information about how to use this resource.
